City Homeless Census
The City of Paramount has annually contracted with City Net to organize and implement a homeless census to identify a baseline number of individuals living without housing since 2022. This effort aims to determine an essential baseline count of individuals experiencing homelessness, serving as a metric for evaluating all homelessness prevention and intervention initiatives undertaken by the City. In addition, the census data provides the demographic, assets, challenges and other special characteristics of individuals without housing to inform resource allocation.
Plan to Prevent and Combat Homelessness Created for City
View our Plan to Prevent and Service Neighbors Experiencing Homelessness developed by Kingdom Causes of Bellflower. This plan covers five years, 2023-2028. The Plan incorporates the feedback received during interviews and meetings and contains future goals and objectives that the Paramount community can implement to reduce the local homeless population.
One component of the public education outreach is advice on how best to approach a homeless person when attempting to assist them.
I want to make an outreach request?
Did you see someone experiencing homelessness who needs help? Notice a homeless neighbor who seems to be struggling with their physical and/or mental health? Then you can help them by filling out an outreach request and alerting us to any specific concerns you may have regarding the person’s well-being. As outreach capacity is limited, requests for those with more serious medical and/or mental health needs may be prioritized.
